Harley Transmission Parts Guide

Harley transmission parts

The transmission is an important part of the motorcycle drivetrain. It works with the engine, clutch and final drive to transfer power to the rear wheel while providing different gear ratios.

Transmission components are often highly application-specific, making accurate identification especially important.

Major Harley Transmission Components

Gears

Transmission gears provide different ratios for different operating conditions.

Shafts

Transmission shafts support and transfer rotational force between components.

Bearings

Bearings support rotating components and allow controlled movement.

Bushings

Bushings support components and help manage movement and friction.

Shift Forks

Forks help move transmission components during gear changes.

Shift Mechanisms

The shift mechanism transfers rider input into the transmission.

Clutch Components

The clutch controls the connection between the engine and transmission.

Depending on the motorcycle, clutch-related parts may include:

• Clutch plates

Choosing Harley Transmission Parts

Before purchasing a transmission component, identify:

Harley Clutch and Transmission Parts

The clutch and transmission work closely together, but they are not the same system.

or
